Yes, our team covers Calne, Devizes, Corsham and the surrounding villages, so wherever you are in the area we can be there for your family. We're based on The Bridge in Chippenham, which is straightforward to reach from across Wiltshire. Please don't hesitate to call us at any time - we're here around the clock.
We regularly arrange services at St Andrew's Church in Chippenham and are experienced in working with clergy and faith communities to ensure the service truly reflects your loved one's beliefs and traditions. Whether the funeral is Christian, another faith, or entirely non-religious, we work closely with your family to shape something personal and meaningful. Our team will liaise directly with any officiant or celebrant you choose, or we can recommend someone if that would be helpful.
You can call our Chippenham funeral home on The Bridge at any hour of the day or night, and one of our team will answer and begin helping you straight away. We can arrange to bring your loved one into our care as soon as you're ready, and we'll talk you through the paperwork and registrations - including registering the death in Chippenham - at a pace that suits you. You don't need to know what kind of funeral you want when you first call; we'll gently help you through each step.
Our funeral home on The Bridge is accessible to wheelchair users and has a ground floor arrangement room, so there are no stairs to navigate when you visit us. Street parking is available nearby for up to one hour, and there are payable car parks a short distance away if you need longer - John Coles Park is a useful landmark when you're finding your bearings in the town centre. We also have an accessible toilet on site, and our team is always happy to help with any other access requirements your family might have.
We work with West Wiltshire, North Wiltshire and Westerleigh crematoriums, and our team will guide your family through which option feels right depending on your wishes and circumstances. On the day, we travel with your loved one and ensure everything runs to a considered, unhurried schedule so you can focus entirely on being together. We take care of all the arrangements with each crematorium so your family doesn't have to worry about the practical details.
